The modified version of the Starfall that I posted was a prototype and color experiment. This was the end goal, and boy did I take my time getting it done.
Colonists of the frozen planet X-M45 utilize advance thermal collectors, which draw heat from nearly all nearby sources, including venting frame reactors and the body heat of living organisms.

As per the request of M4DH4TT3R on the MFZ forums, here is a breakdown of the frame's torso. Really nothing special inside, and mechanically not all that different from the standard Lockon frame.
Venusian soldier frame.

I no longer have to reuse the same Budgie base all the time!
The sister planet to Trantet, Phellut is largely comprised of a cooler brushland climate. The planet's unified nation of Convergent Phellut also commissioned military Budgies in a common Soldier loadout.
These sophisticated stations are valuable assets to isolated colonies that do not have access to orbital satellites. Without them, it is difficult to forecast the patterns of alien and dangerous weather systems. When playing with special station rules, the controlling player does not set aside 1W for any frame's roll as a result of Exotic Terrain .
What started as a leg/knee joint exploration has evolved into a larger than typical, but still 7P scaled mecha.
The up-armored kitsune came second, but the color schemes match too perfectly for me to to envision an OVA or series about a boy, his mecha and his two fox spirit protectors.
Here are those ships! Made mostly for MFZ: Alpha Bandit.
Also, my camera is kinda broken so expect some more iPod quality pictures....
(Excuse the random stands as well)

Another example of Malcolm Craig's landmate design.
Notes: By modifying the torso to use travis bricks in place of the droid torso I was able to avoid cutting a 4L bar down to 2L to attach the head.
MCF-19 Mirzam: another cheap, easily-massable design in the same vein as the Auriga. This one succeeds better at fitting MFZ scale, being the same height as a chub, though it is bulkier, as mixel-based frames tend to be.

Got struck with a bit of inspiration to create an articulated Chub and then went a bit overboard' So here's my new, overbuilt, interpretation of the most famous frame in MFZ.
With the tagline, "Budget doesn't have to mean cheap," IHI launched itself into the cutthroat world of budget frames, a category it had previously ignored--and it was debatable as to whether it ever truly understood the market. Critics challenged that IHI had simply produced a smaller-than-average midrange frame, given the average price of their "budget" line.
Pictured here are the what's generally considered to be the basis for the many variants that followed. From left to right: the LCF-01 Wombat, the LCF-03 Wallaby, and the Ganteche Collective's Luna-Tick. (While officially not an IHI frame, enthusiasts have never bought official statements of Ganteche's independence from IHI.)
An example of the new Imbrium Lunokhod Industries innovation: the Strike Pack.
Strike packs are hot-swappable, back-mounted, equipment packs designed to extend the usefulness of generic frames. Strike packs allow individual units to utilize mission-specific hardware without the cost associated with purchasing and maintaining an extensive fleet of specialized frames.
This pack features independently actuated, actively cooled, railguns. The pack sacrifices true long-range targeting ability for increased rail durability. During testing, the pack was able to damage targets within tactical (table) range without issue and could fire at least two dozen times without requiring service to the rail mechanism.

A simple (cropped) photograph of the Moon taken with my Hasselblad V-series camera and a 250mm focal length lens. The Moon+ app on my iOS device told me that the Moon was 63.4% illuminated and the Earth-Moon separation was 372,352km.
What prompted me to take this photograph? Well, recently, I changed the body on my Hasselblad V-series camera from a model 500C/M body to a model 501CM body. In principal, the bodies should be fully interchangeable with respect to lens focus settings. However, in practice this may not be the case. The infinity focus setting for my longest telephoto lens, a Hasselblad Carl Zeiss Sonnar CF 250mm f/5.6 Superachromat lens, is especially sensitive in this regard. When I use this lens to take photographs of features in the night sky, it is important that I know how to twist the focus ring to best focus on objects at infinity. There is insufficient light at the time to do this using the split prism focus ring on the viewfinder - instead, it is a case of being able to implicitly trust this setting. And this lens doesn't have a hard stop (i.e., you don't just twist the focus ring in one direction until a mechanism stops you from twisting the ring any further). Rather, the lens allows the user to twist the ring beyond the notional infinity setting to allow for changes in the actual infinity setting resulting from, for example, (a) the use of different camera bodies, and from (b) different temperatures.
At the time that I took this photograph, there was a stiff wind blowing clouds swiftly across the sky. This precluded taking a long exposure star trail photograph. Instead, I took a series of photographs to determine the infinity focus setting, using the Moon as the target.
The sequence of photographs was as follows: A total of 10 photographs with pairs of photographs where the line on the focus ring was at ...
1. the right-hand (RH) edge of the infinite label,
2. between the RH edge and the centre of the infinite label,
3. at the centre of the infinite label,
4. between the left-hand (LH) edge and the centre of the infinite label,
5. the LH edge of the infinite label.
I performed this sequence 5 times. Consistently, the sharpest photographs in each sequence were obtained with settings (2) and (3). I therefore concluded that the optimum infinity focus setting was just a fraction to the right of the centre of the infinite label.

Photography notes ...
The photograph was taken using the following hardware configuration ...
(Year of manufacture indicated in braces where known.)
- Hasselblad 501CM Body (Chrome) - S/N 10SH26953 (2002).
- Hasselblad CFV-50c Digital Back for Hasselblad V mount camera.
- Hasselblad Focusing Screen for the CFV-50c digital back, with focussing prism and crop markings.
- Hasselblad 45 Degree Viewfinder PME-45 42297 (2001).
- Hasselblad Carl Zeiss lens - Sonnar CF 250mm f/5.6 Superachromat lens (1987).
- FotodioX B60 Lens Hood for Select Hasselblad Telephoto CF Lenses.
- MeFOTO BackPacker Travel Tripod.
- Hasselblad HATQCH (3043326) Tripod Quick Coupling.
- Arca-Swiss ARUCP38 Universal Camera Plate 3/8".
- Nikon AR-3 Shutter Release Cable.
- Artisan & Artist ACAM-302 Silk Cord for Hassleblad Cameras (Black).
To minimise the incidence of vibrations, I employed the following strategies :
a. Use of a sturdy tripod.
b. Pre-exposure mirror lock-up.
c. A mechanical shutter release cable.
I acquired this photograph (8272 x 6200 pixels) with an ISO of 400, exposure time of 1/500th second, and aperture of f/8.0.
Post-processing ...
Finder - Removed the CF card from the camera digital back and placed it in a Lexar 25-in-1 USB card reader. Then used Finder on my MacBook Air to download the raw image file (3FR extension) from the card.
Lightroom - Imported the 3FR image.
Lightroom - Used the Map module to add the location details to the EXIF header.
Lightroom - Applied various basic lighting and color adjustments in the Develop module.
Lightroom - Saved the Develop module settings as preset 20161209-005.
Lightroom - Output the image as a JPEG image using the "Maximum" quality option (8272 x 6200 pixels).
Lightroom - Cropped the image and exported it as a JPG file with 1336 x 1336 pixels from the Library module.
PhotoSync - Copied the JPEG file to my iPad Mini for any final processing, review, enjoyment, and posting to social media.
BigPhoto - Resized the image by a factor of 4 and output an image with 5344 x 5344 pixels.
CropSize - Used this app to crop the image down to 2400 x 2400 pixels. It allows the user to specify the size of the output image and then interactively move the central point for the output about the input image.
Photoshop Fix - Used the Spot Healing tool to retouch a number of sensor noise spots in the background regions around the Moon.
Exif Editor - Copied the EXIF data from the Lightroom output image to the final image.

LCF-05 Podling. A neat little chicken-walker, with similar aesthetics to the Luna-Tick. Nice and massable.
One for ranged/artillery combat (formerly the gunship), one for hand-to-hand combat.
On the outside the structure looks the same but the interior was totally replaced. They're a lot more stable now, no more picking them up to move and blowing their shells up.
